Sokay...no harm done(haha nightshade,so I'm a tomato now am I haha).But do make the bowl deep too.I'm a big lather maker,a shallower bowl will just overflow and gets messy.I'm not dainty with the brush heh.My first mug was a homemade scuttle which was a deep coffee mug with a shallower bowl.The result was a mess.The one thing I love about my apothacary mug is it's deep enough that I can really swirl away with my brush.That's why I suggested bigger,deepr and a little wider.Just basically an oversized apothecary mug with a deep inset scuttle bowl.I really hope I'm helping ya and not hindering ya though? :fim::gl:
